    Stash? No. TRASH.
    We gave Vonleh away for as-close-to-being-literally-without-actually-being-literally NOTHING.
    Vonleh. Our best or second best PF. The guy we traded Nic for. Nic, the SF who'd fit wonderfully with this roster that totally lacks any talent at the SF position.

    So basically Olshey fucked up, and then in his unwillingness to do anything actually productive, undid his fuck up very slightly.

    I'm looking forward to Dame trying to force a trade this summer. Nice work Olshay.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    On the upside, Vonleh isn't that great. This was probably the easiest and least harmful way to get under the luxury tax line. (No one was going to take on Portland's actually bad contracts without sending some back.)

    Okay. After being luke warm on Olshey, I'm now firmly in the FIRE OLSHEY camp.

    So they're letting Shabazz go for nothing this summer, huh?

    So when Dame met with PA he had to have said "get that fucker Noah Vonleh off this team! I don't care if it means getting a European janitor in return!"
